Compensation for Impairments of Frequency Converters in Millimeter Wave Vector Signal Generators
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-05)The upcoming fifth generation (5G) of wireless communications aims to utilize millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequencies in its infrastructure to alleviate the crowded spectrum problem below 6 GHz. At higher frequencies, ... -
Digital Predistortion of Millimeter-Wave Phased Antenna Arrays
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-07)The cost of deployment of reliable, high-throughput, fifth-generation (5G) millimeter-wave (mm-wave) base stations will depend significantly on the maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) that the base ... -
Linearizing Radio Frequency Power Amplifiers Using an Analog Predistortion Technique
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-21)As critical elements of the physical infrastructure that enables ubiquitous wireless connectivity, radio frequency power amplifiers (RFPAs) are constantly pushed to the limits of linear but efficient operation. Digital ... -
Mixed-Signal Multimode Radio Software/Hardware Development Platform
(University of Waterloo, 2012-12-17)Radio frequency power amplifiers (PAs) are the most challenging part of the design of radio systems since they dictate the overall system's performance in terms of power efficiency and distortion generation. The performance ...
